NVR Loan Officers (All States Other Than Florida)
No Company is Too Big to Play Fair.
On September 2, 2021, loan officers filed a case against NVR, Inc. and NVR Mortgage Finance, Inc. (“NVR” or “Defendants”). They assert claims for unpaid overtime compensation on behalf of themselves and other loan officers across the country (excluding Florida where another case is proceeding).
The Complaint alleges that NVR, which sells and constructs homes under the Ryan Homes, NVHomes and Heartland Homes brands, violated the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) by not paying loan officers for all the overtime hours they worked. The loan officers assert NVR knowingly placed heavy demands on them that required them to work unpaid overtime hours, while discouraging them from recording that time.
Details about the other case for Florida loan employees (FL loan officers and processors) can be found here. Non-Florida loan processors are also pursuing unpaid overtime in another case, and more information can be found here.
Our firm is partnered on this matter with attorneys Gregg I. Shavitz, Paolo Meireles, and Logan A. Pardell of Shavitz Law Group, P.A. in Boca Raton, Florida, and Harris Butler, Craig Curwood, and Zev Antell of Butler Curwood in Richmond, Virginia.
This case is entitled Hughes v NVR Inc et al - NVR Loan Processors (All States Other Than Florida), Case No. 1:21-cv-01018 (E.D. of Virginia)

-
Q:Do I Have To Pay Anything?
A:
You do not have to pay anything if you join. We are handling this case on a contingency fee basis. This means we will only be paid if the lawsuit is successful in obtaining relief either through a settlement, award, or a final judgment, and that payment will only come out of that settlement, award, or final judgment.
-
Q:How Do I Prove I Worked Overtime?
A:
If you have records of the hours you worked, please preserve and keep them until we ask you for them. However, you do not need to have records of your work hours to make a claim for your overtime pay. If NVR did not keep accurate time records, most courts will permit you to make a good-faith estimate of your work hours. Through this lawsuit, we will seek any records the company may have of your hours worked as well.
-
Q:What About Retaliation?
